A system for the control of the door assemblies of a bay of a landing gear of an aircraft, that is retractile and is able to be deployed, the opening of the bay for the landing gear being able to be closed by a forward door assembly and an aft door assembly, comprises a coupling mechanism of the forward door assembly and the aft door assembly, that is configured such that the aft door assembly is not completely closed, but is ajar, as soon as the forward door assembly is opened during the deployment of the landing gear and the aft door assembly is completely closed at the complete closing of the forward door assembly when the landing gear is retracted.

A joint assembly in an aircraft connecting a belly fairing to the fuselage of the aircraft. The belly fairing has a sewing angle connected to a main belly fairing section, while the fuselage has a fuselage skin with an exterior and an interior. The joint assembly includes a sewing angle with a flange connected to the fuselage skin exterior at a fixation zone of the fuselage skin, with the fixation zone being overlapped by the flange where it is connected thereto. The joint assembly further includes a stringer connected to the fuselage skin interior and overlapping the fixation zone. This joint assembly is less susceptible to vibrations. The disclosure herein also pertains to a method of providing such a joint assembly.
